Why metadata repositories for information?

There are two reasons why metadata repositories for Information exist, namely data and knowledge:

Data interpreted by humans becomes information

Information also exceeds data and contains condensed knowledge

And consequently, this information is managed through metadata repositories designed for information.

Data, when interpreted by humans, transforms into information. The primary reason metadata repositories for information exist is because data needs to be examined within a broader context than what is sometimes provided by metadata repositories for data alone. These reasons include, for example, information security, data protection, and industry-specific regulations.

Information is also condensed knowledge. The second reason metadata repositories for information exist is to manage knowledge. Knowledge is ultimately stored in Records and Information Management Systems, where it is archived for regulatory purposes. Additionally, the elements within the repositories that handle information security and data protection represent knowledge independent of any direct relationship with data in the IT landscape, as you will see.
